And the best thing…it only took a few minutes to make it! The pillow is actually made from an<i> oh-so-frenchy</i> tea towel sporting a receipt from an early 1900s Paris butcher shop. It was sweet a gift from my thoughtful friend Barb at <a href="http://www.everydayhomeblog.com/"><i>The Everyday Home</i></a>.

What makes this one unique is that it has script and designs going both directions so it makes sense as a pillow! <i>Gotta love that! </i>That's my <i>sweater pillow with a burlap rose</i> in the background.
